[ROTG] Shielded In My Armor

Written for @rotgsecretsanta for Prompt #18... “Jack/older Jamie - Jamie is getting bullied or is having a hard time making friends and Jack comes to visit him at college.“

Sorta-kinda songfic, wrapped around Simon & Garfunkel’s “I Am A Rock”.  Angst alert.

_________________

A winter’s day

In a deep and dark December

I am alone

Gazing from my window

To the streets below

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

I am a rock

I am an island

It was nice to be the one being hugged for once, instead of always having to initiate the hugging. Jamie let himself relax for the first time in months, leaning his head against Jack’s shoulder, feeling the rapidly-dissipating chill of Jack’s hoodie against his cheek.  This had been a longer-than-usual semester for him since he’d transferred to a four-year university after a year at community college.  Moving away from home, leaving friends and family, finding out that even among the weird kids he was just too weird to hang out with… Jamie needed Jack now.

And apparently Jack needed him.

-----------------------------------

I build walls

A fortress deep and mighty

That none may penetrate

I have no need of friendship

Friendship causes pain

It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain

I am a rock

I am an island

Jamie noticed the differences in the Burgess Believers between the first summer after high school graduation, when everyone was still at home and happy to hang out with each other, and the second summer, when those who were in college or on their way there had things to talk about that the ones who were joining the work world did not, and long awkward silences replaced never-ending conversations.

He’d convinced himself that after all their years of living on the same street, he and Pippa were meant to be together as soulmates, ignoring all her wise words about the strength of platonic love.

He’d convinced himself that the bond of their experiences fighting the Boogeyman would override the personality differences between him and Cupcake, and that theirs would be an eternal friendship, ignoring the signs of her envy of his stable family life.

He’d convinced himself that he and the twins would always share the same interests since they’d known each other since kindergarten, ignoring that Caleb was a completely separate person from Claude and not an interchangeable cog.

He’d convinced himself that Monty would always be shy and awkward, ignoring the facts right in front of him that confidence can be gained and make a person stronger without any visible clues. 

He'd convinced himself that Sophie would always need him to lean on, more than he'd ever need to lean on her. 

Having his convictions shattered had an equally shattering effect on him.

The differences didn’t seem to affect anyone's status as Believers; they all still had fervent faith in the existence of the Guardians, and that faith still bound the seven of them to having something in common. But the dynamics of their group kept changing, slowly and inexorably; too often Jamie heard of Jack visiting the others one at a time, rather than Jack visiting when two or four of them were together in the same place.

[It was rare that they were ALL together in the same place, that second summer.] 

He hated that he was relieved to go off to the school he despised, but which would give him a good degree, rather than being upset at  behind.

Jamie hated change, and wanted to stop Time.

So when Jack flew in his window at uni just before Finals week, Jamie was very happy for the constancy of an immortal frost spirit.

They lay together on Jamie’s bed, arms wrapped around one another.  Jamie had never been more thankful about landing a single in his dorm; transfer students usually didn’t get so lucky.

“I… am a… O-bli-GATE CAR-nivore.” Jack kissed Jamie on the nose and used a hint of teeth, just because he could. “And you… you are…”

“Crazy for putting up with you.”

“I am wounded! I die! Oh, farewell, cruel world!” At that, Jamie kissed Jack back.

The vinyl record kept spinning on the turntable, spilling out glittering guitar-strummed melody and bitter dual harmony.

Don’t talk of love

Oh I’ve heard the word before

It’s sleeping in my memory

I won’t disturb the slumber

Of feelings that have died

If I’d never loved I never would have cried

I am a rock

I am an island

I have my books

And my poetry to protect me

I am shielded in my armor

Hiding in my room

Safe within my womb

I touch no one and no one touches me

I am a rock

I am an island

They were each lost in their own thoughts as the album side ended and the turntable clicked itself off. After a long moment, Jamie blurted out, “How did you ever manage to stop yourself from becoming this guy?  Three hundred years alone, humans not able to see you, other spirits either ignoring you or actively hostile to you… seriously, why aren’t you, like, totally an emotionally detached sociopath?”

Jack took far too long to answer, and Jamie’s heart thumped, and his brain shouted at him, he’s going to leave you too!

Finally Jack replied, “Every kid I ever saw, even if they never saw me... they had fun when I was around. I made a difference in their lives, even if they never knew who did it. I had all of you kids to show off for, year after year, until your generation opened its eyes and believed in me.” His voice thickened. “And hopefully generations after you will keep believing in me.”

Jamie hugged Jack tighter as the frost spirit shuddered, cold tears and warm trickling from two sets of eyes.

And a rock feels no pain.

And an island never cries.

Prompt #50!

Sorry this is so late! @rotgsecretsanta this is Prompt No. 50 for Bunny coaching Jack through a panic attack!  I hope you enjoy it!

           “Damn it…” Bunny said under his breath as he brushed the snow from his shoulders. “At least it’s not another ’68…” he grumbled as he walked further into his Warren.

           Easter had been a success. Or at least as much of a success as it could be with a blizzard ripping through half of the North American continent. This was one of the earlier Easters landing on March 23rd. And even though it was technically in springtime, Jack had his fair share of snowstorms after that threshold. Bunny never minded having some of them, only under the agreement that the bad ones didn’t happen on Easter.

           “It’s fine,” he sighed to himself as he patrolled his Warren. “The eggs got hidden, children still found them, and the belief is still strong,” he smiled as he greeted his stone soldiers while they started cleaning up the mess they had made.

-----

           A few days later, Bunny traveled to North’s workshop. He was hoping to find Jack there since the grumby normally bothers the living daylights out of him right after Easter. It was particularly intense at this time since there was nothing to do but clean. Being unable to find the trickster anywhere, he went to North’s study, hoping to get some kind of answer to his absence.

           “Hey North,” Bunny said entering the study seeing the man fiddling with his latest ice sculpture.

           “Bunny!” he laughed heartily. “I’m glad to see Easter didn’t tire you out this year.”

           “Ha, ha very funny,” Bunny smiled as he rolled his eyes. “I would’ve been better without the snow, but it went better than last year.”

           “Speaking of snow, have you seen Jack?” North asked, turning away from his sculpture to look at Bunny. “I haven’t seen him poking around for a few days.”

           “I was actually coming here to ask you that,” he stated, with some concern. “When did you last see him?”

           “When he went with you to the Warren before Easter,” North said as he stood. “Did he not help you?”

           “No, he did,” Bunny said. “But he left the day before to tend to some snow in the Himalayas. Then Easter happened and I haven’t seen him since.”

           “But you said there was snow on Easter?” North asked as he grabbed his coat.

           “Yeah, a decent blizzard—”

           “Something must be happening…” North observed. “I will talk with Tooth and see if he went her way. You check in with Sandy.”

           “Got it,” Bunny nodded, thumping his foot on the floor, a tunnel opening as he traveled through.

           Bunny traveled around until he was able to see the dream sand dancing around through the town around him. He was able to see dreams of dancing eggs, and his image sprouting from the different dreams that Sandy would bring. He followed the tendrils until he found the massive dream cloud that hovered in the sky. Getting his attention, Bunny saw Sandy descend, smiling happily and congratulating him on a successful easter.

           “Thanks Sandy,” Bunny nodded. “Ya dreams are still riddled with easter,” he smiled. “But I came to ask if you’ve seen Jack anywhere. No one has seen him since the day before Easter.”

           Sandy communicated that he had seen Jack on Easter, but that he had seemed in good spirits. He’d said that there was some snow that he needed to tend to and that it would be a nice surprise for some children before he’d flown off.

           “Did he ever say where he’d go?” Bunny asked, seeing Sandy shake his head. “It’s been almost a week…”

           Sandy mentioned checking in Burges since that tended to be a place he would scamper off to for some fun with the children.

           “I’ll go check,” Bunny nodded. “Keep an eye out and I’ll let you know if I find him. Hopefully he’s just hiding out there for some fun,” he stated getting a concern nod from Sandy.  

           “I’ll let you know if I find him,” Bunny said before tapping for a tunnel.      

           Burges wasn’t a big town in Bunny’s standards. By the end of an hour he had hopped through most of the town with no sign of the winter spirit. He tried taking to Jamie and his friends, but they hadn’t seen him since Easter.

           “He did seem upset though,” Jamie said. “He said something about the snowstorm and you being mad.”

           “I mean I’m not happy it happened, but I’m not going to tear the grumby apart,” he stated while Sophie climbed over his shoulders while they talked.

           “I’d go check by the lake though if you haven’t yet,” Jamie continued. “He normally goes there when he wants to be alone.”

           “I’ll go there next,” he said flipping Sophie over while she giggled. “Thanks for the help.”

           “Let Jack know we miss him. Snowball fights aren’t the same without him.”

           “I will,” Bunny nodded before traveling through his tunnels, appearing in the forest just outside of Burges.

           Bunny knew Jack came to this area a lot, but never to the lake. He had told Bunny that it was the lake he had drowned in before becoming a guardian and it was also the place where Pitch had been defeated. It seemed to hold a lot more meaning to Jack than Bunny had realized.

           It didn’t take long to find the hooded boy sitting by the lake. He was tapping his staff on the lake making more and more layers of ice so no one else would ever fall in. Being curled in on himself, he wasn’t able to see Bunny coming towards him. When placing a gentle hand on Jack’s shoulder, Bunny could feel him flinch harshly by the contact.

           “Hey, don’t worry it’s just me,” he chuckled, while Jack scrambled to stand up. “Where’ve you been mate? You got everyone worried,” he asked turning to concern as Jack gave a forced smile.

           “Oh, you know, this way and that,” he shrugged with a nervous chuckle.

           “What’s going on Jack?” Bunny asked with concern. “You’re worrying me.”

           “I’m fine really,” Jack chuckled taking a step back from the other as he started to feel his chest tighten.

           “Jack,” Bunny said with concern. “You don’t seem fine.”

           “Oh and I’m sorry about Easter,” he laughed uneasily as he started to breathe harder, taking a few more steps away from Bunny. “It was a bit of a shitstorm on my part…”

           “Jack I don’t care about that,” Bunny scowled. “What’s going on?”

           “You don’t care?” Jack laughed. “I fucked up Easter.”

           “Jack,” Bunny said gently taking the other by the shoulders. “You didn’t fuck anything up.”

           “But the Blizzard… It happened on Easter and we’ve talked about snow and Easter with what happened in 68 and I couldn’t stop it… I just wanted a bit of snow but got carried away… I’m supposed to protect the children. I just wanted to have some fun and—”

           “Jack!” Bunny exclaimed to get the other to look at him. “You’re getting carried away,” he said gently as he guided them both to sit by the lake. “No one was hurt in the Blizzard. Easter was a success. You didn’t jeopardize the children.”

           “I’m a guardian… I shouldn’t have let that happen.”

           “Jack nothing happened,” Bunny said, letting the other lean against him. “You just gave the Midwest a snowy Easter. Even I can’t complain about that.”

           “But it’s Easter.”

           “There’s been snow on Easter before 68 and there’ll be snow on easter in years to come. It’s spring. We get a mix of winter and summer until a balance is met. I’ve known this for eons,” Bunny explained as he held on to Jacks shaking figure. “It happens despite me not wanting it, but it’s not something that I’m going to hold against you.” He finished, Jack saying nothing as tears started to travel down his cheeks.

           They both sat by the lake for a time while Jack let his emotions out. It’s wasn’t often that Bunny would see Jack like this. He knew that the winter spirit took his guardian duties seriously and seeing how he was now solidified how serious he had become.

           “I’m serious though Jack. I’m not upset with you,” he said gently rubbing at his back. “And don’t hide something like this. We don’t want you to be feeling like this. We all mess up and no matter what happens, we’re all a team that helps each other, okay?”

           “Okay,” Jack nodded as he sat up, wiping at his eyes. “I am sorry though,” he sighed.

           “It’s alright. It wasn’t anything that wasn’t manageable,” he encouraged. “But you really do have everyone worried.”

           “Fuck,” he sighed covering his face again. “I didn’t want to worry you guys…”

           “I know,” he stated while they stood up. “Let’s go find them,” he said getting a tight hug form the other.

           “Thank you, Bunny.”

           “No problem you show pony. Let’s go before North sends out the calvary,” he chuckled.
